What this really is, is a guide for the average joe to learn about tackling electronic projects. From wiring audio, radar, electric...

Some of you may have seen my previous posts in regards to retro fitting a DCT shifter from a 2010 650i to my Steptonic e46. http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=771381&highlight= With my black interior, and black CF trim, should look sweet! Not my car; someone that tried and almost...
